The people who decide also disregard any performance with swearing/violence or excessive sexual references, so keep that in mind.
Alternatively, you can just devise the best goddam performance you can muster, ignoring any conservative parameters, and get top marks for a much more original/innovative performance, and forget all about onstage bullshit.
hey guys sorry, but onstage nominations arent thwarted by those politics. if u get full marks u get a nomination. the end. its only the ones that then go on to get chosen and performed, are there considerations such as swearing/sexuality etc. and the type of school also doesnt account for anything. there are no 'spots'- they do not have a limit. anyone who gets full marks gets nominated. know this for certain.
also, i just got into onstage and mine was very very sexual- in the end i have sex on stage and orgasm. now, i wont get chosen for the seymour centre because its confrontational, but because i got full marks i got chosen. thats how monologue like 'the orange' are still able to receive nominations.
It is a fair system. you may have missed out by one mark :S
